This Is Hokie country.

First-class facilities

The Hokies' football success can be traced in part to the first-class facilities the team uses on a daily basis. While the results are apparent on game day in Lane Stadium, there are many other facilities that help the Hokies in all phases of preparation. It is the work that is done in these areas that leads to success both on and off the football field.

Hokies in the pros

With three Tech players being drafted and several more signing free agent deals, Virginia Tech enters the 2014 NFL season with over 180 former players under Frank Beamer alone having signed with NFL teams. In 2013, 20 players were on NFL rosters with seven making the playoffs. Duane Brown, Kam Chancellor and Brandon Flowers were named Pro Bowlers and Chancellor won a Super Bowl ring with the Seattle Sehawks.

Academic success

Of the 13 seniors on the 2014 roster, there are eight Hokie graduates, with the other five on track to graduate this year. David Wang has already graduated (business degrees in three years) and earned a second undergraduate degree last past summer and both Chase Williams and Laurence Gibson will earn a second undergraduate degree this fall. In 11 of the past 13 years, Tech has graduated at least 70 percent of its class and since 2001, there have been 229 senior Tech football players on the roster with 213 earning their degree. That is over 93 percent!

ACC Honors

The 2013 Virginia Tech football team won eight games to earn a bid to the Hyundai Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas. Individually, 10 players were honored by the ACC, including Kyle Fuller, who was named to the Coaches' All-ACC First Team, and Kendall Fuller, who was named the Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Consecutive bowl streak stands at 23

The Virginia Tech bowl tradition dates back to 1947 when the Hokies appeared in the Sun Bowl, and in the years since, more than one million fans have witnessed Tech compete in 29 bowl games in 13 different stadiums and in eight states. Tech's invitation to the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., extended its bowl appearance streak to 23 consecutive years, the longest active streak in the country.

A game day experience like no other

It's Enter Sandman. It's the HokieBird. It's the Marching Virginians blaring the fight song. It's Lane Stadium, bursting with maroon and orange. The sights and sounds of game day at Virginia Tech create an unrivaled college football experience.
